. The Canadian horticulturist [monthly], 1901. Gardening; Canadian periodicals. OUR BRANTFORD MEETING. COLD STORAGE TRANSPORTATION. Turning his attention to cold storag^e trans- portation to England, he said the individual could not work out his salvation without help. The only thing- discovered yet to ensure de- livery of tender foreig^n fruits in Eng-land was cold storage. There was variance between himself and the Dominion Government on two points. He wanted lower temperature and circulation. He wanted it remembered that if fruit was decayed no cold storage would put it in condition again, for which reason it was absolutely essential that it should be put up in cold storage as soon as picked, and kept in cold storage until and after it reached Liverpool. He had had much labor and anxiety all summer over the question. The Dominion authorities had said Canadian peaches and grapes could not be shipped to England successfully, so he had started to work. If fruit could be held in cold storage on land he was convinced it could at sea. The cold storage should be provided, and they wanted boats leaving every week. He had met with opposition, but to ensure what he wanted he had built in the ship Trader a cold storage department. The results were shown in Mr. Woolverton's report. Mr. Dryden emphasized very strongly the need for continuous cold storage, and said if the fruit dealers wanted it they would have to have it. What, he asked, would that trade be worth to Ontario? Would it not be worth spending $3,000 a year for several year>« to obtain? It would, a hundred times over, he believed. The Ontario Government would aid in building cold storage houses here, and had provided a proper car—the, car which had carried fruit successfully in South Africa. He had the lecturers to farmers' institutes to explain the cold storage problem. He believed it one of the greatest questions before the Province to-day. It might be termed class legislation, but it benefited every class
